Meaning: In greek

Kimon 'does not have a recognized meaning in Greek; the Greek words for cloak and tunic are 'chlamys'and 'chiton', respectively. The kimono symbolizes dignity and honor in Japanese culture, not ancient Greece. The corrected text should clarify that 'Kimon 'does not have notable historical associations as per the available evidence, and instead focus on 'Kimora, 'which is linked to figures like Kimora Lee Simmons. Kimono remains important due to its historical roots.
